NZUSA-A Clique?
NZUSA-A Clique?
NZUSA used to be considered "a small clique, known as the resident executive, which spent most of its time sending telegrams of protest to various transient South American presidents and otherwise generally solving the world's problems," said retiring NZUSA President Armour Mitchell in his report to Easter Council.
Mitchell went on to say that, while much of the "undue ill-formed emphasis" on international politics had been removed, "we would certainly be deceiving ourselves if we were satisfied with the present situation."
Asking what NZUSA meant to the average student, Mitchell outlined a three-point programme for developing NZUSA. He called for:
- A change in emphasis of Association activities
- An Improvement in internal communications
- More vigorous public relations.
"We should always continue to pursue more vigorously the various matters we have always grouped under the heading of education," Mitchell said.
